There’s either something wrong with the world or something wrong with me, and let me tell you there’s nowt awry with this lady! I am an oasis of rationality in a world of madness. It seems to me we are living in some inverted version of the world as it used to be. What was left is right, what was right is wrong, men are women, women need safe spaces and karma has packed up and left the building.
Whatever happened to our agreed reality? When did everyone become entitled to their own truth or their lived experience, if you fancy a bit of newspeak. What happened to our dignity and self-reliance? When did we become so bloody namby-pamby, lily-livered and afraid to call out nonsense? Is it something in the water?
And speaking of lily-livered, it’s my opinion that politicians should have to live on the average industrial wage as well as have some expertise in their portfolio. That’d separate the men from the boys! I mean who, other than a politician, is given a job he knows nothing about and is paid so handsomely for it? We get monkeys so we should pay peanuts.
And finally, my most strongly held belief and one with which I know you'll all agree, is that for all our health and safety, on aircraft, babies, in fact all children under 12 should be stowed away in a soundproof bubble so they can’t annoy me. Before I was rich enough to travel business class, I was frequently persecuted by some screaming little blighter and had to restrain myself from giving them something to cry about.
